1:1 support on their schedule

Teens can connect with a trained Soluna coach or schedule a session with a licensed therapist whenever they need someone in their corner. No insurance needed, no waitlists, and absolutely no cost — just open, judgment-free support via our web or mobile app.

Building skills to stay engaged

Soluna’s library of content and self-care tools support teens in turning life's challenges into chances for growth. Inspired by positive psychology, our evidence-based resources urge students to embrace their strengths, values, and goals as they head back to the classroom.

Nurturing confidence through connection

A new school year can mean starting over socially too. Soluna’s moderated community forums help youth hear from peers who know what they’re going through. Whether sharing a story or offering encouragement, every comment is reviewed before being published to keep things safe and supportive.

Real help finding real-world support

It’s hard to focus when school is competing with basic needs. Soluna’s resource finder helps young people search for and connect with low- or no-cost services in their area for food, shelter, medical emergencies, or even therapists for ongoing support.

Resources that speak their language

Soluna’s self-guided resources and activities are available in English and Spanish, as is on-demand mental health coaching — via our web or mobile app.

Why schools and students love Soluna

I love Soluna, it helps me so much when I need to talk to someone, it's easily accessible and I'm feeling much better after I chat with a coach.

Soluna User, Age 14

I finally feel like I am able to talk to someone, and it takes a huge weight off my shoulders. Being able to talk to someone trained to help me for no charge is wonderful, and I am happy to be able to use the app, and talk to people about my problems when I need to.

Soluna User, Age 15

We thought it was great. Were were shocked that it was free. Being a charter nonprofit, budget is always a concern. So having something that they could use at their own discretion, privacy of their own homes, or wherever they choose to really was a great benefit.

School Staff Member

Soluna has helped me to understand my emotions and be able to work out various issues. It's a safe space that helps me to learn new things for my relationships, overall being, and mental health. I feel less depressed when having the Soluna app as a tool for me.

Soluna User, Age 14

It made me feel heard and safe like I can vent or tell someone in the chat what's going on and they'll actually do something about it which makes me feel hopeful and safe.

Soluna User, Age 17

Funding comes and goes. And we've partnered with other mental health companies to help bridge that gap. But this doesn't need a contract right? This isn't like, 'oh, we used to work with this company, and now we don't.' It's available for everybody, free for California residents age 13 to 25 in California. Something that's outside of school, having that constant is helpful.

School Staff Member

It helps me unwind at night. I utilize the noise cleanse tool every night and it has been a game changer for me. I also get to track how I’m feeling with the mood tracker and see how my relationships affect me which is a cool feature. It makes me more aware of how certain people in my life make me feel.

Soluna User, Age 16

I have learned new things that I haven’t even realized applied to me.

Soluna User, Age 17

It's just been great to have another tool to offer and to have something that's after school, free during the summer. It definitely fills some gaps that we're not able to always provide services or supports or resources during those times. I feel better, having more resources and things that fill areas that we don't cover a hundred percent.

School Staff Member

I believe technology, when used intentionally, can be a powerful bridge to support students’ mental wellness both in and outside the classroom. I’ve always sought out tools and resources that empower students to build self-awareness, resilience, and healthy coping strategies, and this app aligns perfectly with that mission.

School Counselor, California

As a high school counselor, I see every day how much teens carry on their shoulders. Becoming an ambassador for the Soluna app is my way of giving them a tool that helps them build real coping skills, not just survive the stress. Students deserve support that’s free, easily accessible, and easy to use. Soluna delivers that, and I’m proud to stand behind it.

School Counselor, California

I unfortunately don't have enough time to meet individually with every student, and sometimes students can't access therapy or don't feel comfortable with therapy yet. Being able to recommend Soluna is something I can do to support student mental health more. I love how accessible it is for students.

School Counselor, California

Mental Health Awareness is very important. As a high school counselor, I believe that our students need to feel safe, secure, and empowered. I believe that Soluna provides our students with real life skills and tools that they can implement in their daily lives. I love this app and love what it does to support our kiddos.

School Counselor, California

I love the work that you do and the impact that you have made to the families that I have referred. The free service that you provide has been a blessing to those that do not have access to mental health services. You have helped shaped many of our youths' future for good. Promoting your services is something that I already do in my job.

School Psychologist, California

I believe every student deserves free and quality mental health services. As a undergraduate student I was able to use this service so I know first hand of all the benefits Soluna provides for students.

College and Career Counselor, California

I’ve seen firsthand how beneficial these tools can be not only for my students, but also for my own children. Being able to share something I personally believe in and have seen make a difference would be a meaningful way to support the wellbeing of my school community and beyond.

School Counselor, California

There is a serious lack of mental health resources available to students, and I am very interested in any additional supports I can offer to students and families without concerns about barriers, such as insurance and location.

School Psychologist, California

“I love using the community feature. It’s really nice being able to share things with my peers and get real advice and their thoughts on things.”

Soluna User

“I enjoy having a place to talk about the ‘smaller’ issues in my life and receiving problem solving and community with my peers my age.”

Soluna User

“Using the forums tab in like the community section- helped me feel comfortable in poetry and sharing vulnerable things. It made me feel less alone.”

Soluna User

“I am lost for words on how well this app works for me. They have tools to help you privately vent, you can join forums and the messages are moderated so you can never feel hurt by other people there, you can get help, book a counselor or just drop in to talk, they even have video calls now! 10/10 hands down. The best mental health app for teens, and adults, because not only do you get paired on the forums with people your age, everyone including you stays anonymous!”

Soluna User

“I think it’s an amazing experience when I went to the community page I found a conversation that I related to so much it was so helpful for me to see because I really didn’t think my situation was happening to anyone else”

Soluna User

“The forums are especially my favorite part, because I get to talk about stuff that I would normally keep inside, let it spiral around and hurt me. And then to see people my age agree with me, and to see posts I relate to as well…I don’t feel as lonely then.”

Soluna User

“I love responding to forums in the community and reading people's stories and situations, because it allows me to give advice to fellow adolescents and/or young adults. I can empathize with so many people on this app because I've been in their shoes before, and it makes me feel like I'm not the only person who has experienced these emotions and situations before”

Soluna User

“The forums are really cool. I was scared at first to view them but once I got into reading them I realized it was just a place to share thoughts and opinions anonymously with no judgment. Hearing from people can relate to (even just a little) felt good. I really thought I was alone in feeling certain things.”

Soluna User

“Before this, I swore I was the only one who had this impossible problem but then the forums that people posted made me see otherwise and I got new perspectives.”

Soluna User

“Soluna has helped me connect with others around my age in a way that makes me feel not so alone.”

Soluna User

This app has a really friendly environment where I can relate to other people's problems through their posts and know that I'm not alone.

Zachary Dees

I think it’s a great app that helps me with my stress from school and friends. I also don't have a therapist yet bc idk if we can afford one so it’s nice to have a resource to use. Over all it’s a good app😊👍

Bobaairpods

I was able to set up a one on one chat with one of the people available and she was a great help. The best part, it’s all free. I’m not even joking I didn’t pay a single penny and i’m getting help I wasn’t able to get before.

lmonakos

This app is great because it’s free and when I need the support, I can definitely just book a chat When I need it

Ameez reviews

I really like Soluna. It has really helped me get through some rough mental issues. I love the interactions with other users and everything is private.

Every adventure girl

Love the different features and options to utilize different ways to deal with my current problems.

oreolly

amazing people and they are very helpful and understanding!!

A3bkabyy

Recently downloaded this app and talked with my first coach today. It was surprisingly helpful, i’m a teenager and definitely recommend this to anyone my age who needs someone to talk to. Thank you for providing this great resource for free!!!

elephant in a top hat

I like the tools - thought shaker is like an affirmation generator, starboard - relaxing drawing tool; noise cleanse - good for distraction

MichandMe

I love using the Soluna app to set a positive tone for my day. I enjoy using the noise cleanse feature when there are a lot of distractions in my environment. I also try and use the free write feature to help me get thoughts out of my head into words.

Shruthi2911

Too good to be true!

Alona Merezhko

I used to get really stressed about school and work that I was too afraid to do anything, like I was paralyzed. I would avoid checking my schedule and ignore things if they got bad. With Soluna, everything with work and school isn't perfect, but I have to ability now to face problems when I encounter them.

Soluna User, Age 21

It is an amazing app and I couldn’t be more happy that I found it.

kaizehuh

As a 20 year old who is in college and works full time as a teacher, I have a lot of inner issues that I never thought I could get help for because therapy is not something I can afford. This is an insanely good concept and resource for our ages. I'm over the moon that I was so easily able to schedule an appointment with a counselor.

Cici@luv

It gives me a safe place to write about how I am feeling.

Soluna User, Age 18

I am able to think a little more before reacting

Soluna User, Age 21

This app truly is amazing in every way. It's just what I need to get me back on my feet again when I'm going through a rough time. From setting goals to all of the other exercises and helpful tips involved, I already see my mental health and overall well being getting better. This app is really amazing in every way and what's better is that it's all free. I'm so grateful for this app. It has really helped me so much so far. 100% recommend.

Soluna User, Age 18

I have the energy to do things I enjoy now and am not as harsh on myself

Soluna User, Age 22

Giving me a judgment free zone without pressure where I can work through my emotions. It gave me a space where I feel comfortable being vulnerable.

Soluna User, Age 18

I feel like there is an actual space that makes me feel like I belong. Soluna also doesn’t feel like a scam or ripoff with micro transactions, it is free and it should stay that way. It makes the app incredibly welcoming and provides amazing resources.

Soluna User, Age 19

Soluna and a specific coach have helped me find ways to calm down my anxiety and now it feels like a rare occasion that I get anxiety and now I have a different perspective on my self and mental health.

Soluna User, Age 22

Soluna being a place to be understood has made me feel more secure and confident i can face life’s challenges

Soluna User, Age 20

I learned what my core values were and hope to work to make them apart of my every day life.

I'm based in Butte County, California, and I'm passionate about helping young people know they never have to face life's challenges alone.

Go-to feel-good song: Believe by Cher

Hey everyone!! My name is Maddie, I’m currently based in the beautiful city of San Francisco!! I am a fashion design major and I love learning and discovering new hobbies. I am always open to new book recommendations- specifically mystery novels. Mental health is something that affects each and every one of us.

I think soluna is a really important and accessible resource for young adults and high school students to make sure that they can get the help that they need.

Go-to feel-good song: I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett

Hi everyone! My name is Anna and I am currently going into my second year of college studying Education, Democracy, and Justice! My passion for spreading awareness on free mental health resources stems from how many times I have seen youth pushed aside and not helped throughout their own mental health journeys. I believe it is important for youth to have access to free mental health resources as often times the resources currently used are quite expensive. I joined the crew because I believe that everyone should have access to free mental health resources that can help them feel seen and heard!

Anna

Go-to feel-good song: Dancing Queen by ABBA

I am an LA County native, a former foster youth, and a passionate mental health advocate. Entering the foster system at age 15 after experiencing trauma and neglect, I know firsthand the challenges of navigating high school, college, and adulthood while managing mental health. As a former LINC/NextUp Ambassador at Cerritos College and a current Youth Ambassador with Child Family Policy Institute of California, I use my lived experience to lead panels, workshops, and webinars. I have even shared my expertise at universities like UC Davis. I am dedicated to spreading awareness and improving child welfare systems. It is vital for today’s youth—especially our struggling generation and those with disabilities like ADHD and Autism—to have access to free, confidential support.

Go-to feel-good song: Whatever It Takes by Imagine Dragons

I'm a pre-med Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience student at UC San Diego. My time in research and volunteering has shown me how deeply mental and physical health connect, and how many students don't know where to turn when struggling. Serving on the board of a student health advocacy group has shown me how peer-led spaces make resources actually reach the people who need them, not just exist on paper. College is often the first time young people navigate stress and isolation without a built-in support system. I joined Soluna because, as a young adult, I know how much it matters to have someone listen without judgment. Every young person deserves free, confidential support, no stigma, and a real say in shaping it.

Rebekah

Hi, my name is Elaine, and I’m a Soluna Ambassador based in Yolo County. I’m dedicated to making mental health support feel less scary and more accessible for young people. Through my own experiences and being involved in student mental health advocacy, I’ve seen how many youth silently deal with stress, anxiety, family pressure, school, and just trying to figure life out. I joined the Soluna Ambassador crew because I want to help people know that getting support is okay, and that they don’t have to go through everything by themselves. <3

Hello! My name is Kaily & I'm based in California! I'm currently a university senior majoring in political science. In my free time, I love reading, beach days, painting, live music, baking, & spending time with friends/family. I joined Kooth because I am very passionate about destigmatizing mental health & spreading awareness. For me, mental health is self care, & taking care of my mind is equally as important as taking care of myself physically. We all deserve equal, safe access to mental health care. My hope is that we will all one day live in a world where mental health care is not only widely accessible to anyone who wants it, but where people can openly discuss mental health & share resources without stigma.

Go-to feel-good song: Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift (Live from Eras Tour)

Hi, I'm from Alabama, and I'm passionate about spreading awareness of mental health resources because of my own journey. I've been navigating my mental health since I was 14, so I understand how important it is to have access to support that feels safe, confidential, and judgment-free. What excites me most about Kooth is that it gives young people a free space to explore their mental health at their own pace. Everyone's mental health journey is different, and having a platform where you can find support without feeling pressured or judged can make all the difference. I'm proud to be an ambassador because I hope to help others discover that they don't have to face their challenges alone and that support is always within reach.

I graduated with my bachelor's in psychology with dual minors in ASL and social work. Currently, I am working toward my master's in social work and a certification in harm reduction approaches toward substance use.

Go-to feel-good song: You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette

My name is Ayanna, and I am currently pursuing an associate's degree in psychology. I am passionate about advocating for mental health, youth homelessness, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled individuals, and other marginalized groups. In my community, mental health was a taboo subject growing up, so I know just how important it is to destigmatize it and make people aware of the services that are available. Luckily, I was able to find the mental health resources I needed, but it wasn’t until I reached adulthood. I wish I knew about resources like Soluna when I was younger. This is why I am eager to bring attention to such a great resource like Soluna to youth!

Go-to feel-good song: Run Away With Me by Carly Rae Jepsen

I'm a young professional from Central New Jersey with a passion for creating content that helps people feel seen and supported. As someone who believes mental health should be treated with the same importance as physical health, I joined the Kooth Crew to help spread awareness of free, confidential resources that can make a real difference. Social media has the power to connect people, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially for young people. I'm excited to use my platform to remind others that asking for help is a sign of strength and that everyone deserves access to support without barriers or judgment.

Go-to feel-good song: Chicago by Michale Jackson

Hello, I'm Summer! I've always been interested in people's emotions and habits. I grew up naturally observing conflict in others that would remain unsaid-- especially among my friends and family. Since then, it's motivated me to seek a career that'll allow me to validate and empower those who are discouraged from self-expression or seeking help. And as an ambassador, my role goes beyond sharing Soluna itself. In engaging with my fellow youth, I can provide a place for emotional safety, advocate against stigma, and highlight experiences that might otherwise never be shared.

Summer

Go-to feel-good song: The Divine Chord by The Avalanches

Originally from the Bay Area, I recently completed my Master’s in Medical Sciences in Southern California. My background in neuroscience and healthcare deeply fuels my passion for mental health advocacy and healthcare equity. I am incredibly proud to be a Soluna ambassador because I believe that true health equity means every young person has free, confidential access to mental health support. Navigating modern challenges is complex, and eliminating barriers to care is vital for youth well-being. I love being part of the Soluna crew because it allows me to bridge the gap between medicine and mental health awareness, turning my passion into meaningful community impact.

Go-to feel-good song: Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac

Go-to feel-good song: Baby I'm Yours by Breakbot

My name is Amanda and I’m so excited to be a NJ ambassador lead! As an aspiring clinical social worker with a specialization in youth well-being, I unsurprisingly love the work that Soluna does in promoting resource accessibility to ages 13-18 in New Jersey. Everyone can benefit from checking in with their mental health more, and meeting youth where they’re at is incredibly important in providing optimal support. I feel so lucky to be a part of promoting such a valuable resource!

Go-to feel-good song: Patience by Tame Impala

Hello, I’m Christina and I have always been interested in promoting the importance and prioritization of mental health! Part of what led me to join Soluna as an ambassador was the opportunity to contribute to my community and promote mental health awareness, with a focus on teens and young adults!

Go-to feel-good song: Friday I’m in Love by The Cure

Hi! I’m Hriday from San Joaquin County—Go Valley! I’m passionate about mental health because it’s something that affects all of us, and no one should feel like they have to face it alone. I believe the stigma surrounding mental health is often a bigger barrier than the challenges themselves. That’s why I value confidential support—it creates a safe space where people can be honest, feel heard, and get the help they deserve. My goal is to help create a world where talking about mental health is as normal as talking about physical health. Remember, you’re never alone, and asking for help is a sign of strength.

Hey all, my name's Sierra! I'm originally from the Bay Area and am currently a first-year School Psychology graduate student at Sacramento State. I'm passionate about increasing access to mental health support for youth and teens. I've put that passion into practice through community outreach, advocating for mental wellness, and working to reduce the stigma around clinical support and help-seeking. As a returning Ambassador, I'm excited to continue spreading awareness about Soluna's free, confidential digital tools and help young adults build a healthier relationship with their mental well-being!

Go-to feel-good song: Ice T by Tems

Hey! I'm Diyansha, a returning Soluna Ambassador from Yolo County, California. My passion for mental health began in high school through my interest in psychology. As I learned more, I realized people still didn't openly talk about mental health, which inspired me to advocate for youth. Finding Soluna felt like the opportunity I'd been searching for to make a meaningful impact. Moving to the U.S. alone four years ago without a support system showed me how isolating that can be and inspired me to become a safe space for others. Soluna has given me the purpose, community, and platform to make mental health support more accessible and normalized for young people.

Go-to feel-good song: Naloney Pongaynu

Hi! My name is Hudson and I am a student in Santa Barbara currently pursuing a degree in psychological and brain sciences. My experiences both where I grew up and in college have taught me that youth in a variety of environments can benefit from high quality mental health resources like Soluna. Growing up is such a challenging time for so many and there are countless people I met who could have and probably still could benefit from a tool like Soluna. Youth mental heath has been getting worse year over year since I was born, I believe that Soluna can help reverse this trend in a big way and I am thrilled to be part of a team that gets to bring mental health resources to youth that need them!

Hi! my name is Jessica and I just graduated with my bachelor's degree in Psychology.

Go-to feel-good song: Rollin by Calvin Harris

Hi everyone, my name is Abraham. I joined Soluna because I want to break the stereotypes around mental health in my community — the idea that asking for help is a weakness, or that it's something you just don't talk about. I know how many students are carrying a lot silently, often without knowing free, confidential support is right there for them. That's why I'm passionate about spreading the word about Soluna. I believe every student deserves access to support on their own terms, and I want to help make sure no one in my community feels like they're facing it alone.

I’m Duke, a second-year History and Political Science double major with a minor in Public Policy at UC Berkeley. After seeing firsthand where behavioral health care falls short, I’ve become passionate about making mental health support more accessible within my community. I’m the co-founder and executive director of Soluna’s first college chapter network, and as an ambassador lead, I use my lived experiences to advocate for youth access to free, confidential mental health resources. I’m also interested in the policy side of advocacy, having lobbied congressional offices for increased early-intervention mental health funding and developed capstone bill proposals focused on expanding access to support.

Go-to feel-good song: Energy by Tyla Jane

Hi everyone, My name is Oden and I am currently a Lead brad ambassador for Soluna in placer county, I Just graduated with a bachelors of Arts In Psychology at Cal Poly Humboldt.I joined Soluna because I have seen first hand challenges youth and young adults can face while being in a time of life where we are having so many big transitions and challenging decisions that create stress and anxiety and being unsure how to manage and unsure where to turn for support . I believe that youth today need more access to free and confidential support in order to build the skills to navigate life's challenges and learn to prioritize their well being without having to deal with financial stress and fear of judgment.

Hey everyone! My name is Marius and I am from Alameda County. I'm also a transfer student at UC Berkeley where I'm majoring in Economics. I joined Soluna because I'm incredibly passionate about destigmatizing the topic of mental health, as well as spreading awareness about accessible mental health resources and create a safe and welcoming environment for all. Growing up in an Asian household, I've had countless exposure to how difficult it is to hold conversations in regards to mental health due to its cultural stigma. I'm super excited to be a part of this program and remember: it's okay to not be okay!
